OPC recording
Whenever you insert a tape and start recording for the first time, the VCR adjusts to
the tape using the OPC function (the OPC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment
is retained until the tape is ejected.
To deactivate the OPC function
Set OPC to OFF in the VIDEO OPTIONS menu. The OPC indicator in the display
window goes off.
About the Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) function
Digital Noise Reduction (DNR)
automatically improves playback
quality by the digital signal process.
To obtain better quality, we recommend
you to activate the DNR function by
pressing the DNR button on the VCR
(the DNR indicator lights up on the
VCR).
Notes
• You can adjust the tracking for the NTSC-recorded tape but the tracking meter won't be
displayed.
• With the Auto Long Play function on, the OPC function will work only in SP mode. If the
tape speed automatically switches from SP to LP, the OPC function turns off. However, if the
entire programme is recorded in LP mode, the OPC function will work.
• There is a delay of about ten seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the VCR
analyses the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the OPC indicator
flashes slowly) and press
flashes rapidly). After the OPC indicator stops flashing, press
immediately. If you want to start recording quickly without using the OPC function, first set
the VCR to recording pause (the OPC indicator flashes slowly) and press
recording.
